about this exhibit

benefits delivered daily

This exhibit is a tribute to the therapeutic benefits I receive by spending time in nature & making art each day.  All of the works in this show developed out of a daily ritual that included reading poetry, drawing and painting in my garden, and experimenting with cyanotype imaging.  An early obsession with medieval botanical manuscripts and years of studying and working as a calligrapher continue to inform my process.
